Follow these steps carefully
The Frontier needs no special service position — the arms lift straight off the glass where they park. If an arm sits close to the hood edge, switch the ignition off while the wipers are mid-sweep to leave them raised, then lift each arm carefully.
Raise one wiper arm until it stays up and lay a folded towel on the glass beneath it. Never let a bare spring-loaded arm snap onto the glass — the spring tension is enough to chip it.
I've learned: same rule as every car: towel under the arm. A spring-loaded arm snapping onto a Frontier windshield chips the glass more often than you'd think.
The Frontier uses J-hook arms: press the release tab where the blade meets the hook and slide the blade down out of the hook. Pull in line with the arm — twisting sideways can bend it. Note the blade's orientation as it comes off.
The 2005–2014 Frontier takes a 24-inch driver-side blade and an 18-inch passenger-side blade on J-hook arms. Hold each new blade against the old one to confirm the length, and check that the connector is the hook type before installing.
Thread the new blade's connector into the J-hook until it clicks, then tug gently to confirm it's locked — 24-inch on the driver side, 18-inch on the passenger side. Verify each blade sits flat on the glass with the rubber edge facing correctly.
Lower the arm gently and repeat on the other side. Top off the washer fluid, mist the glass, and run a full wipe cycle — the sweep should be smooth and streak-free.
I've found that when a new blade still skips in one spot, it's the arm spring — not the blade. On a 15-year-old truck, that spring owes you nothing; replace the arm.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
